This ties in with 1984, in my opinion.

I'm not sure if you guys even see my posts when I write them, but I am at least doing my part. I hope I get credit for this.

Anyway, Orwell's novel, 1984, is most likely one of the most twisted and distorted creations to be placed on parchment and printed with ink. Oceania is considerably the epitome of what could happen to our society if we continue to feel the need to reform text books and manipulate history in a way that is tasteful for young readers and our future generation. The totalitarianism is a representation of what our board of education wishes it could be, but the nation has not yet declined to that level of, in my opinion, ignorance. The ignorance of these leaders to want to obliterate what is clearly the genetic makeup of their being, their present, and the shaping of their future will soon destroy any reason for life to make sense, to fit together like a puzzle. With no right or wrong, no true or false, I guess everyone is entitled to believe whatever they choose to believe. Oh wait, Oceania has leaders that make those decisions for them. Freedom will forever be constricted until humanity diminishes into nothingness.

Do this. Take away the tyrannical Big Brother and all of his mindless followers and settle yourself in our society and see what you're left with. In reality, 1984 is correct in saying that if you choose to believe that something is correct, hypothetically it will be correct. What is truth? Who determines what is true? I see that mathematical equations and scientific experiments will give definite answers to a certain extent, but when it comes to life and all of its abstract concepts that float beneath our atmosphere, who then determines what is truth? I could pull any thought from the air and declare some amount of truth to it, however much I may decide, and that will be as complex as it becomes.
